Sorry, It's been a while since my last post! :)
♥ And I wanted to say Happy (Belated) Valentine's Day! ;) ♥

Yay, I'm happy because..
1) My mum has given up smoking!! :D I am SOO releived. Hopefully it will last (:
2) She is really giving it her all for the raw way of life!..
A few days ago, she asked me to take her 'before' picture!
I'm soooo lucky to have a mum like her! ♥

The 80/10/10 way is treating me very well! :)..
Except, I have adjusted it abit:
- I still do green juice
- I am using up my raw vegan supplements (enzymes, algae ect..)
-I've only technically been on 80/10/10 starting a few days ago as we bought a box of gorgeous organic avocados (they were really cheap €18 for a box of 24+!). They were all ripening pretty fast, so I gobbled them up! :D hehe :) (not all over a day of course... but I did have, like, 3 a day:)

I have found one of my new favourite snacks ...
Orange juice soaked dates!
.. Although, usually I can only manage to eat a few of them, because my teeth have always been sensitive to either reallyyy sweet stuff, and only really cold stuff. We'll see if this improves! :)

Mmmm, oranges are all the rage with me at the moment!! :)
I'm going through like 2kg a day!! Ekk... not good for our budget!! :S

Ohhhhhhh, I'm excited...
I am going to be CATERING a Raw Food Lunch for a Yoga group!! :D
Woop woop!
The lunch is on the 28th of March. :)
Any ideas of a LIGHT (the lunch is IN BETWEEN yoga sessions) raw food dishes I could serve!? :)
They have sessions every month.
This month.. the 28th of Feb, I'm going to bring Green Juice to the group! :D

My mum absolutely LOVES the nut milk I make her!!

All it is is (raw) Almond milk that I make by blending soaked almonds with water and then straining it through a nut milk bag, a spoon full coconut butter, a dash of vanilla and voila! :)
A healthy milk alternative! :)

Ohhhhhh, I had the loveliest mango over the weekend!!!..

SOO juicy and ripe!! :D
...
Bon Appétit! :)
Spread the L

Ohhhhhhhhh!

blegggg, I was meant to get my braces off today, but they pushed it back because some of their equipment isn't working or something :(((((( grr!
Now I'm getting it done on the 4 of March! D:

Anywayss, about my friends coming over!!!!!!........
I AM SO RELIEVED!!!!!
It went SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than expected!!!
They came one day late (Saturday afternoon, instead of Friday evening) because of the snow in England, and their flight got candled.
I was actually glad, but NOT in a mean way!, that they came one day later... I think that it would have gotten a little too awkward at eating times...
It doesn't help that I'm shy! >.<>


These were the view from the car.


These are from the ski lifts!






Our skiis! (Oli snowboarded)


This merry-go-round looked beautiful in the snow!!



They are gone now... they went early this morning.
I made them raw macaroons and chocolates to try, and they LOVED them!! :D
I also made them some green smoothie in the morning and they found it DELISH!
yay!


These are the raw chocs just coming out the freezer. :)





my hands after rolling the macaroons! :)

There were a couple of uneasy moments though....
Like last night, after skiing we stopped at a restaurant to eat in the mountains.
gahhh, yes, yes, I am quite picky and try to only eat organic food - besides, they didn't HAVE anything I could eat there anyway! Even ALL the salads were loaded with bacon, cheese, croutons..... GAH! And I didn't want a salad were these things were just picked off either! Soo.... I just said I wasn't hungry... In the end it was FINE.. I just kept TALKING, LAUGHING, and made sure there were no silences so they could'nt focuse on me NOT eating!! ..
Well, it worked... we had a great time...
It was just that they had a fondue (eg, cheeeeeeese, greasy cheeeeeeese)
and it just gets a bit bleg when they start commenting on how good the food is...
and I just have to keep quite...

The other thing is that, when friends come over, my mum's eating gets really bad.
I KNOW I should'nt 'tell' people what to eat, and I usually don't.
BUT when it's with my family, it's that much harder.
:(
She finds it really easy to stay off meat and eat largely raw daily, BUT this weekend when our friends were over she eat sweets, BACON, HAM, and LOADS of processed icky cheese.
And I can't HELP but feel slightly (understatement) disappointed.
No, maybe it's not disappointment, but it's HARD to watch your loved ones stuff them self with POISONING 'foods' (especially when it involves killing animals.. eg meat :(. :(
I just love my mum too much, to be able to let her destroy herself through eating these foods!!!!

!!!!

ANYWAY! :D
All in all, it was really good, and I'm sooo glad!!!

And I made mum lots of YUMMY raw stuff today because even she admits she like, and feels SO much better eating raw!! :D
....
Like...


Green juice!! :D




Yum, I havn't had dates in quite a while, because I was once eating tooooooo many of them and eventually got put off them..
I tries these the other day....


and was surprised to find that even just after 2, it was wayyy to sugary and sweet for me!


I also made mum some marinated mushrooms to put in her salads..
omg! she eat them ALL up!
She loved them!!


marinated (in raw olive oil, touch of sea slat, wheat-free tamari, a little pear syrup), then lightly dehydrated mushrooms

I've been trying 80/10/10 these last couple days, and WOW!
I feel GOOOOODDD!!!
... Not to mention the food bill has gone down!!! :D
